>how many bits are in a byte

I checked 11 pages and none of the results were relevant.

I searched instead for "size byte bits", third result has the answer. It seems like the engine gives equal weight to all words in the search, so "are", "in" and "a" throw it off.
excellent! I'm tired of search engines that optimize for natural language queries because the inevitable trade-off is that they become useless at keyword/exact queries.
